Large-N phase transition in lattice 2-d principal chiral models

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2010-11-01 v1

Abstract

We investigate the large-N critical behavior of 2-d lattice chiral models by Monte Carlo simulations of U(N) and SU(N) groups at large N. Numerical results confirm strong coupling analyses, i.e. the existence of a large-N second order phase transition at a finite βc\beta_c.
